A styptic alum block that relieves the bleeding from small cuts and is easier to use on large areas than an an alum pencil. The block is therefore also suitable to mitigate razorburns; Moisten the block lightley and apply gently on the newly shaved, clean face. Finish off with cool water to close the pores.
Usage: Apply a small amount of water to the styptic block and apply the on to the affected area. The aluminium-potassium sulphate in the styptic pencil has a cauterizing effect on the skin and therefore it can sting a little bit when it comes in contact with the cut. This is however perfectly normal. Clean the part of the block that you have used with water after use – do NOT rinse the whole block under running water.

You get what you pay for, it does what it's supposed to but the packaging is a bit dull and the stone wasn't completely smooth and nice.
Too strong. Irritated the skin, but smells good.
Great product that soothes the skin after shaving
Perfect after a close shave with a knife, before aftershave, etc.
affordable, does what it should
Very good, however, it can take a while before it works in my opinion. However, it bleeds quite easily and heavily.
Helps a lot with stopping the bleeding and the redness from disappearing.
A thing everyone should have
Nice to use on a shaved bald head and face after shaving. It is good for insect bites.
Does the job. Slightly impractical format and packaging.
